Forza Motorsport 7: General Discussion

[Dsavage27]

Jesus this game is really that bugged....smh. I've seen several glitches myself and it trips my mind how they fix things but implement so many damn bugs at the same time. It's a weird time to be a Forza fan.

In the immortal words of Sgt. Hulka: Lighten up, Francis. For some reason the game kept a Ferrari 360 CS there while I was trying to select a car for a League race. It disappeared as soon as I left the screen and went back into it. It was just a funny and very minor non-fatal glitch that I managed to screencap before it disappeared. I got a few more before I had to quit because the race was starting.

Ferrlovo 360XC90 sounds better.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmno.

Maybe the May car pack will have some retro and 2018 IndyCars?

And the car in my avatar fingers crossed

Id bet good money it'll have something like the Huracan Performante or 720S now that the car pass has finished.

Or one of the latest GT3 cars.

Better chance of the Senna over the 720s.

Man, I miss the 550 GTS, last we saw it was FM3 I believe. I heard somewhere along the line that they haven't been in the game due to licensing, the cars were built by Prodrive and not official Ferrari racers. Probably an issue with Ferrari, since the Aston Martin DBR9s are Prodrive cars too (though maybe backed by AM?) which is in FM7.

Anyways, I also hope to see the car make a return to Forza.

I don't think licensing of the car itself should be an issue. IIRC, some of the touring cars are the same sort of situation.

I've seen this happen in the League Hoppers in the pit area while waiting for the next race to begin. But it was always in the background. Cars would drop from the "sky" and land on top of other vehicles. Sometimes sitting on top of them. But I have yet to se this where the cars are "morphing" into each other.

Right, but seems like it might be a Ferrari specific thing. But all speculation, really, more likely just didn't make the cut into the game. The Ferrari F50 GT and F40 Competizione were absent from FM6, despite being in earlier games and making a return to FM7. Just strange the 550 GTS was only in one Forza game as far as I know.

I've seen that too. Although I don't think it's cars dropping from the sky. I think a car is there behind you, and then another one pops into existence in the same place, forcing the first car up into the air. Either way, I always laugh when I see it.

Having only one GTS/GT1 car from the Aughts (the DBR9) is a travesty...maybe more so than the decision to lump all the modern GTs (regardless of whether they're GTE, GT3, GT500...) into one class.

Wrapped up the Sebring Endurance needlessly. Forgot my settings are usually set to Long race lengths, but decided to go for it anyway. Wasn't worth it.

The painting and Livery editor are far too cumbersome for me to do more than text and simplistic designs. Painting in Forza needs an overhaul.

I think GT Sport has proven that it is possible for T10 to implement an ability to upload decals that are high quality and exactly as they might be looking at them in reality, and also make liveries not blurry pieces of **** when you look at them up close.

Of course, the chances of them actually doing that are slim. And besides, knowing the state of the game, it will probably be buggy. So, we are stuck with the options we have.

Agreed. They aren't going to fix it. And if they were to address any issues with the livery editor, it would probably cause even more problems.

Since they are treating Forza like a service with a bi-annual release, perhaps they should just make it into a service. That way they can stop scrambling to hit that 2 year cadence, and really improve the title.

I believe the car was last in Forza 4. I did ask someone in the know a while back and they did mention something regarding licencing although whether that was with Prodrive or Ferrari I wasn't told. I'd be happy with a Ferrari blessed 575 GTC at least it'd win more races virtually then it ever did in real life......

Miss the Maserati MC12 GT1, Saleen S7R, Corvette etc. Good times in FM2/3/4. The V12 scream...

Is there an easy way to find cars you haven't driven yet in your garage, aside from opening the info on each individual car and check the distance driven?

No.

I've been having a lot of Crashes To Desktop lately. It tends to happen with anything concerning multiplayer. When I run rivals and switch events, I get a CTD. When the race is over in the hoppers and a new track is loading, CTD.

I thought it was because I was pushing the 1070 kind of hard (3840x2160 @75fps) so I switched it to recomended/Dynamic but unlocked and V Syncd the FPS, and I still CTD in multiplayer.

I might have to shelve the game again.

Honestly, I don't see any significant blurring of the liveries playing in 4k. The problem is that at this point the XB1X and PC are displaying liveries in 2018, an the standard XB is stuck in 2007 when it comes to their resolution.

As for GT Sport's 15kb limit for .svg files, the least I say about it, the better.

What I find even weirder than the lack of production-based GT1 machinery (after all, the Ferrari cars weren't an official developlment, Lister only recently came out of the woodwork, etc.) is T10's decision to remove the "GT1" cars that were already present.

The latest BOS also had me thinking about the loneliness of the Ferrari 333 SP, which is the only representative of the WSC-era IMSA prototypes. Now, I understand that licensing the Riley-Oldsmobile Mk IIIs may be hard, what with Riley & Scott and Oldsmobile both being non-existent at this point, but the Porsche WSC car is sitting in the Stuttgart Porsche Museum, in its LMP1-98 form...

I just needed to show that I am capable of winning an online race.

Rewards for the Tanner Foust rivals event appear to be in, I just got the Corrado and the driver gear.

[Htsaeteurn]

From the Forza RC Qualifiers 3, you get the Chevrolet Impala Forza Edition which a little fun fact the 25% CR at Long Beach shows where Snoop Dogg was born and he has an Impala himself, which I not sure if it looks like the one used in Forza.

What was the Lykan Hypersport a reward for? I believe that's one of the cars I don't have that's not on your list.

 

[Kedmasterz]

It was a reward for one of the first rival/ bounty event alongside the Ferrari 612 IRC.
